Merck-U02-Substudy 02D (Melanoma with Brain Metastasis)
What is the Purpose of this Study?
The study is divided into two periods: a screening period and a study dosing period.
If you choose to join this study, during the screening period you will:
- Have physical exams
- Have blood draws
- Have other tests done to assess your eligibility
The screening period will last for about one month.
If you are found to be eligible, you will continue on to the study dosing period. During this period, you will:
- Be randomly assigned (like a coin flip) to 1 of 2 groups
-- Group 1 will get MK-1308A (MK-1308 + pembrolizumab) and lenvatinib
-- Group 2 will get pembrolizumab and lenvatinib
Pembrolizumab and MK-1308 are given as intravenous (IV) infusions. Lenvatinib is a capsule that you take by mouth.

What is Involved?
We are doing this study to find out if different combinations of experimental drugs are safe and effective treatments for melanoma that has spread to the brain. We also want to know if there are biological markers, like your genes, that can help us predict how well the study drugs might work in the body to treat MBM.
